Square's Business In A Box Is An One-Stop Startup Kit

Square's quest for small business domination continues in the form of Business in a Box, a convenient, all-in-one package that intends to get small businesses up, running and using as many Square products as possible.

One box comes with two Square Readers, an iPad stand, a cash drawer and a receipt printer (optional because who uses paper anymore, grandpa), all of which will, of course, work with a wireless Square Register.

As far as startup budgets go, the whole package seems pretty affordable, starting at $US300. Square claims the packages are customisable, but so far, that seems limited to tacking on a printer for another $US300. Square's already begun taking orders for the new set right over here. [Square]

Halogen light bulbs aren't great, but traditional incandescents are downright terrible. Ikea says that the average Aussie household could save nearly $150 a year by switching its lighting to LEDs.
